Brahmā’s Instruction on Brahmacarya, Vānaprastha, and the Aliṅga Path
Ethics of Non-attachment
पूताभिश्न तथैवाद्धिः सदा दैवततर्पणम् । भावेन नियत: कुर्वन् ब्रह्मचारी प्रशस्यते,जो ब्रह्मचारी सदा नियमपरायण होकर श्रद्धाके साथ शुद्ध जलसे नित्य देवताओंका तर्पण करता है, उसकी सर्वत्र प्रशंसा होती है
pūtābhiś ca tathaivāddhiḥ sadā daivatatarpaṇam | bhāvena niyataḥ kurvan brahmacārī praśasyate ||
قال فايُو: «يُمدَح في كل مكان ذلك البراهمتشاري الثابت على نذوره، الذي يقدّم للآلهة تَرْپَنَة (سكب الماء قربانًا) على الدوام بماء طاهر، يفعل ذلك بإيمان صادق وقصدٍ مستقيم. فمثل هذه العبادة المنضبطة تُعدّ سلوكًا يُحتذى.»

Educational Q&A
Disciplined conduct (niyama) joined with inner sincerity (bhāva/śraddhā) makes religious practice meaningful; a brahmacārin who regularly performs devatā-tarpaṇa with purity is held up as an ideal of dharmic life.
Vāyudeva is instructing by praising a model practitioner: a brahmacārin who, as part of daily observance, offers water-libations to the gods with pure water and sincere intent, thereby earning universal commendation.
